Sky's The Limit

This is my first attempt at a sky using the old Copics,what do you think? I think it looks like this little girlie is sat on top of a mountain,up in the clouds,she should be chatting to goats instead of a humming bird. I picked up this lovely image as a 24hr facebook freebie on New year's eve,she's called Wonder by Mo Manning,isn't she just fabulous.

At long last I found a pattern for crochet flowers,I'd searched and asked all over the place but when visiting the amazing blog of Dorcas,I found a link.The pearly button looks scratched but it's a tiny thread of silicone glue that I hadn't noticed until seeing it large,don't you just hate it when that happens!

Thought I'd share a close up of the buttons,I threaded them onto embroidery silk then taped the threads to the back of the card. My lovely papers were a little purchase last week,they have a linen look and are V&A Hanoverian 8x8 paper pack.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

There's also a fun challenge going on at Make It Crafty where you have to give a definition for Aussie slang sayings,here's mine

You little ripper, the name given to the paper crafting technique of paper tearing.

Crikey,the nick name for cutting machine also known as a Cricut.

Ridgie Didge,alternative name for a ribbler,machine that makes multiple ridges in paper.

Bob's your uncle,My mum's elder brother who moved to Queensland in the 60s.

Hoping you have a great weekend,
